New York, NY (7/19/12) - Earlier this afternoon, DiBella Entertainment (DBE) held a teleconference to officially announce their much anticipated HBO
Boxing After Dark Triple-Header, which will take place on September 29, at MGM Grand at Foxwoods. The card, billed as "Road to Glory", is headlined by DBE's undefeated top-rated super middleweight contender Edwin "La Bomba" Rodriguez (21-0, 14KO's) squaring off against the hard-hitting, up-and-coming super middleweight prospect Jason "Monstruo" Escalera (13-0-1, 12 KO's). In the televised undercard bouts, undefeated former two-division world champion Zsolt Erdei (33-0, 18 KO's) takes on South Africa's top-rated light heavyweight Isaac Chilemba (19-1-1, 9 KO's), and Luis "Orlandito" Del Valle (16-0, 11 KO's) squares off against former three-time world champion Vic Darchinyan (37-5-1, 27 KO's). The card is promoted by DiBella Entertainment, in association with Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing and Gary Shaw Productions. All three bouts will be aired live on HBO's Boxing After Dark, beginning at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT.

Below are some of the highlights from the call:

LOU DIBELLA: I'm
very excited to announce this tremendous fight card which takes place
on September 29 at the MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods, televised by HBO.
This is a card that showcases a number of young talent fighting in true
crossroads battles which have significance across multiple weight
classes. I'm very happy to say that this card was done in cooperation
with Gary Shaw Productions and Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing, so for a
change you have promoters working together as opposed to going after
each other and I think that's good for the sport.

This card is entitled Road
to Glory and while we have big plans and championship aspirations for
all of our guys on the card, all three of these bouts are dangerous
fights and we can't look past the task at hand on September 29th.

EDWIN RODRIGUEZ: This is an important fight in my career. I'm fighting a young,
up-and-coming prospect who has power in both hands and a strong will to
win. I'm ready. I've been in camp for about three weeks. Prior to that, I
was working with Andy Lee to help him get ready for the Julio Cesar
Chavez Jr. fight. I'm excited to get back on HBO on September 29, which
is actually the day that my twins were born. It was a good day and a bad
day for me at the same time because my kids were born premature at 23
weeks and five days. I'm working extremely hard with Ronnie Shields to
keep getting better and improving my game. I'm looking forward to
fighting in Connecticut, which is about an hour and a half from my
hometown, so I'll have a lot of people supporting me. Jason's going to
have a lot of fans there as well, and it's going to be a war.

JOE DEGUARDIA (PROMOTER OF JASON ESCALERA): This
fight between Jason Escalera and Edwin Rodriguez figures to be a
Gatti-Ward kind of fight because they're both bangers, both exciting
fighters. I'm proud of Jason Escalera, he's a real gentleman and a real
warrior in the ring.

LUIS ORLANDO DEL VALLE: I
want to be the best and to be the best, you have to beat the best.
We're going to prove to the world that we belong with the big boys on
September 29. We've already started training camp and we have no doubt
that we're going to come out with the win. We'll keep moving forward to
our goal to capture on of the title belts. I can't wait. September 29 is
a big day for me and is a big day for boxing because everyone will know
who 'Orlandito' Del Valle is."

ELIAS NASSAR (REPRESENTATIVE OF VIC DARCHINYAN):
I want to thank HBO, Lou DiBella and Gary Shaw for putting this
together for Vic. Vic's looking forward to fighting Del Valle on
September 29. He's preparing very well over in Armenia and it should be a
very exciting bout."

ZSOLT ERDEI: Last
time I fought was a year ago. I missed a fight in December because of
my injury and I am very hungry to be in the ring again and I am very
excited. I feel very strong and I feel 100 percent. I thank DiBella
Entertainment and HBO for this fight. I am hoping to win and it is a big
chance for the next fight to fight for a world championship again

ISAAC CHILEMBA: I'm really looking forward to this fight. This is a fight that I have
been waiting for all my life. I'm looking forward to showcasing my
ability against someone like Zsolt Erdei, who is undefeated in 33 fights
and is a former two-time world champion
